Director Nagraj Manjule, of Sairat fame, has been in the news for making a Hindi film for the longest time. It now seems that he’s locked the script and is all set to roll.

If word’s to be believed, Nagraj has roped in megastar Amitabh Bachchan for his Bollywood project. Says a source close to the team, “Nagraj has been writing a script for a long time now, and this time, he wants to make a Hindi movie. He has approached Amitabh Bachchan for his film, and if things go as per plan, he will be on board soon.”

Big B has always been appreciative of films he’s enjoyed watching, and took to social media to praise Nagraj’s Sairat. Given the mutual admiration, it won’t be surprising if the actor gave his nod to Nagraj’s next.
